@Podcrateai Jordan changed the title, description, transcript, and chapters together, so we can’t say which helped most. When she tried the same question the next day, the episode came up first.
@Cryptopete2025@ElevenLabs Here’s one for Roger: part of an elephant’s rumble is too low for human ears, but other elephants can hear the call from kilometers away. Cornell has a recording you can play: https://t.co/4w7mXl7Ggm
Your Podcast Doesn’t Have to Be Weekly
A consistent podcast doesn’t require a weekly publishing schedule. On Podcasting Q&A, Cara shares how to choose a realistic release frequency, use seasons to build in breaks, and keep delivering what listeners came for.
Create the publishing schedule that helps you to keep podcasting!
Stop perfecting your podcast and start recording.
Don’t let stressing over the title, description, or artwork keep you from starting a podcast. Treat it like a small experiment: make a few episodes, see how it feels, and decide whether you want to keep going.
Buzzsprout's Podcast Starter Kit helps you start a podcast in five steps, so if you've been kicking a new podcast idea around now is the time to try it out!
@Podsubs Try changing one thing at a time. If viewers leave during the setup, test a later starting point; if the clip drags after delivering its point, test a shorter ending.
@Podsubs We don’t have a specific host example to share. A drop-off is a cue to listen back, not proof that the intro caused it; compare a few episodes and listener feedback before changing the format.

@Podsubs We can’t confirm that X includes the link automatically or say when most hosts post. For a clip meant to drive listens, share once the episode is live and add its link if it’s missing from the draft.
Sharing clips on social media helps people discover your podcast as they scroll, even if they’ve never heard of your show.
Now, you can create soundbites and share them directly to social media right from your phone, making it easier to get your episodes in front of new listeners.
Update your Buzzsprout mobile app to get started.
@Podsubs We wouldn’t use a fixed episode count as a pass/fail test. Make a few to learn whether you enjoy the process and can sustain the work, then use listener feedback to decide what to improve.
Cleaning up “um,” “uh,” and other filler words can get repetitive, especially when they show up throughout an episode!
Now, the Buzzsprout transcript editor can remove a word or phrase everywhere it appears.
You can also save it to Autocorrect, so the same filler words are removed from future transcripts automatically.
Open the transcript editor in your Buzzsprout account to try it out.
@Podsubs We don’t have a typical list length to share. Build it around recurring errors you actually see, rather than aiming for a particular number, and keep reviewing new transcripts for anything it misses.
Stop fixing the same transcript mistakes over and over again.
Does your transcript keep getting the same words wrong? Buzzsprout’s Transcript Autocorrect lets you save those corrections and automatically apply them to future transcripts. Fix recurring mistakes once and spend less time cleaning up every episode!
@Podsubs Start with the captions in the actual clip you’re posting. Watch the whole clip muted on a phone at its normal viewing size, checking wording and timing all the way through; review any separately published transcript file too.
@Podsubs We don’t have a shared-list announcement to point you to. The current setup saves corrections for future transcripts of that podcast; we can’t confirm plans or the reasoning behind that design.
@Podsubs We don’t have figures comparing those errors. For the name-check questions here: get the spelling in advance, confirm pronunciation on the call, and—with the guest’s permission—keep that check in the raw recording as an editing reference.
